The two new accusers, from Seattle and Miami, now make a total of seven men who have accused the married actor of various unwanted sexual advances.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported five other men, including three masseurs, have alleged that the Pulp Fiction star groped them and solicited them for sex.

Travolta’s famed attorney, Marty Singer has vehemently denied all of the allegations to date.

The two latest accusers consist of a masseur at the posh Eden Roc Resort in Miami and a former hotel employee at the Westin Hotel in Seattle, according to the New York Daily News.

Jeff, the Miami based masseur, alleges in an interview with the New York Daily News that during a massage in Miami in 2000, “[Travolta] was putting his hands where he wanted me to work and kind of grinding on the table. At one point he actually pulled my hand between his legs up to his scrotum. I started working on his other leg and it all started back up again. He started putting his butt up in the air. I was just trying to do whatever I could to distract him but he started getting aggressive and grabbed my hand again.”

As the massage came to an end, Jeff alleges that Travolta started masturbating and claims the actor told him, “It’s okay, you can do it. No one’s going to know ”

The Seattle based former hotel worker alleges that following a Qantas event in 2000, Travolta cornered him as he was cleaning up a guest room. “He came up right behind me and grabbed my a–.,” the former catering staffer, 48, claimed to the New York Daily News. “I turned around and saw that his penis was out of his pants.”

Two of the masseurs who have already filed lawsuits against Travolta, which were subsequently dismissed by their former attorney, Okorie Okorocha, have since retained powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred.

“We are now representing John Doe #2,” Allred announced after the second man followed in the footsteps of the first and hired the famed civil rights lawyer. “We believe that the lawsuit should be filed in another court and, therefore, the lawsuit that was on file was dismissed without prejudice. We will be conferring with our client regarding what will happen next in this case,” Allred told RadarOnline.com.

Travolta has been married to actress Kelly Preston since 1991. The couple’s oldest child, Jett, died in 2009. The couple have two other children, daughter, Ella Bleu, and their toddler son, Benjamin, born in 2010.

Singer, previously told RadarOnline.com, “As a result of the published lies about my client we expect some ‘John Does’ to come out of the woodwork and assert false claims.”

Bethenny Frankel Reconciles With Stepfather Who Raised Her; After 23 Years!

admin — Sat, 19 May 2012 00:04:31 +0000

By Radar Staff

Bethenny Frankel has made no bones about the traumatic childhood she was subjected to, and hasn’t spoken to her mother Bernadette for years as a result. She also has no relationship with her father, legendary horse trainer Bobby Frankel, and last spoke to her stepfather John Parisella, as a teenager.

But, in a trailer for the next episode of Bethenny Ever After, obtained by RadarOnline.com, the 41-year-old reveals that she has reconciled with John after being touched by his loyalty towards her.

In the clip, she is seen discussing her birth father Bobby over dinner, but the topic quickly moves to the stepfather who raised her from the age two.

“John is my father! I never lived a day with Bobby Frankel,” she says.

Then switching to a monologue interview for the show she says: “I called my stepfather Dad, and referred to my real father as ‘Bobby.’”

Cutting back to the dinner, a clearly passionate Bethenny is telling her dining companions that she had dinner with John, recently.

“I hadn’t seen him… had a relationship with him since I was 18,” the mother-of-one explains. “But he’s never said anything negative about me in the press like my mother and when I spoke to him he was very sentimental about my childhood.”

And she added that John told her that he felt responsible for the way she is today.

“I wanted him to know that, you know, some f***ed up stuff happened, he was a hustler, there was some stuff he did to my mother that was not great but before that, he raised me as his own,’ she says.

“I wanted to validate that, have it acknowledged, you know ‘you were the only father I ever had in my life.’ And it was really nice.”

Even though Bethenny has started mending some family fences it’s highly unlikely Bernadette is on the top of her reconciliation list. As previously reported, she’s angry at her mother, and has threatened to never speak to her again!

PHOTOS: Bethenny Frankel Is looking Scary Skinny These Days

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Bernadette opened up about her daughter‘s life in an exclusive interview with Star magazine, and the reality star is furious about her comments, to say the least!

“I hate her! I really do! I hate her. I just hate her. I really do,” Bethenny said on a past episode of her reality show, going on to critique her aging mother’s appearance. “Look how scary she looks. It’s almost embarrassing to me what she looks like!”

In the interview, Bernadette shared her opinion on Bethenny’s husband, Jason Hoppy and the couple’s tumultuous relationship, saying: “Right now, he is a good father, but soon she won’t need him and she will dump him. Her husband seems like a really nice guy, but it won’t last. He is really too weak for her.”

A furious Bethenny slammed her mother’s comments, stating, “I haven’t spoken to my mother in well over a decade. How does she know? She doesn’t know me! I haven’t known her since I was 14 years old.”

PHOTOS: Reality TV’s Hottest Stars

She went on to claim that her mother, who said that Bethenny only cares about money and power, is dead wrong. “Unfortunately my mother has no idea what type of person I am,” she said.

Bethenny vowed that her relationship with her mother is over…. forever. “She’s so desperate, it‘s really sad,” she said. “I will never ever speak to her again as long as I live.”

Don’t get jiggy with the Fresh Prince!

Even nice guys have their breaking point, and for Will Smith it came when an over-friendly reporter tried to kiss him on the lips.

PHOTOS: Will Smith Attacks Reporter After He Tries To Kiss Him

The amiable Hollywood legend was more than happy to take a cursory peck on the cheek from the affectionate Ukranian reporter at the Moscow premiere of Men In Black 3 Friday night, but did not appreciate it when the man went the extra mile.

Smith, who is married to Jada Pinkett Smith and is father to Jaden, 13 , and Willow, 11, is renowned as one of the most easy going celebrities around.

PHOTOS: Marc Anthony & Will Smith Take The Game

He’s always happy to interact with reporters when promoting his films.

But when the news gatherer started to get amorous, and brushed against Smith’s lips… the father-of-two freaked.

“What the hell is your problem, man?” a visibly angry and shaken Smith says as he violently pushes off the over-friendly 1+1 reporter.

Will later explained: “He tried to kiss me on my mouth. He’s lucky I didn’t sucker punch him.”

PHOTOS: Child Stars: Troubled Adults

Smith has no problem with showing affection to other men, and the actor – who played a gay man in 1993’s Degrees of Separation – came out in support of gay marriage earlier this week.

He said: “If anybody can find someone to love them and to help them through this difficult thing that we call life, I support that in any shape or form.”

Taylor Armstrong: ‘I’m Not An Alcoholic, I’m A Great Mother!’

By Jen Heger – Radar Assistant Managing Editor

Despite growing concern from those close to her and increasingly erratic and destructive behavior, Taylor Armstrong continues to deny she is an alcoholic, bizarrely citing the fact that she is a great mother to her daughter Kennedy as evidence, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

During a recent trip to Ojai, Calif., Taylor had a “catastrophic meltdown” which left her fellow Real Housewives fearing for her future if she doesn’t seek treatment for her drinking. Multiple sources tell RadarOnline.com that Taylor’s behavior, which was all caught on camera, was out-of-control and frightening to witnesses and was fueled by the amount of alcohol she drank during the trip.

PHOTOS: Taylor Armstrong Sobs As She Leaves Restaurant

“Taylor insists that she definitely doesn’t have a drinking problem,” a production source tells RadarOnline.com. “Taylor is steadfast that she doesn’t abuse alcohol and that her focus is being the best mother possible to her daughter. She doesn’t like the meddling that the other Housewives are causing in her life right now. She says the only reason that she drinks is to relax and unwind a bit at the end of the day, and that she never drinks before 6 p.m. and usually will only have a drink or two after Kennedy has gone to sleep.”

PHOTOS: Reality TV’s Top Tragedies

However, as RadarOnline.com previously reported, Taylor did get extremely intoxicated at Kyle Richards‘ daughter’s fourth birthday party several weeks ago, and Kennedy was there to witness it.

“Taylor got wasted at Portia‘s birthday party, and Kennedy was there, so if Taylor doesn’t think her daughter doesn’t know what is going on she truly is in denial. No, Taylor doesn’t ever drink and drive and she did have a driver that night, but that doesn’t mean there is any less cause for concern,” the source says.

Filming continues on the third season of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, and it’s expected to premiere this fall.

We’ve got these new shots of Jenna Talackova, the transgendered Miss Universe hopeful, as she strutted her stuff in the Miss Universe Canada pageant in Toronto Thursday.

Born Walter Talackova, the Miss Universe hopeful was re-admitted into the pageant by owner Donald Trump after a brief disqualification in March.

She previously told Barbara Walters about her gender reassignment surgery four years ago: “As soon as I was conscious, I just always knew that I was not what they were saying.

“It wasn’t right,” the 23-year-old said about her time as a male, adding “I thought that I was in the wrong body.”

PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have ‘Come Out’

Jenna told Walters the surgery was terribly painful, but being comfortable with her gender identity helped soothe any physical misery resulting from the procedure.

“Seeing something on your body for that long and not being able to look at myself in the mirror because I couldn’t stand seeing the other part, it was actually very rewarding, too,” Jenna told Walters.

‘Let’s Do This!’ Girl Battling Flesh-Eating Disease Bravely Faces More Amputations

The Georgia girl whose body is being ravaged by a flesh-eating bacteria bravely gave the OK when her parents broke the news to her that she would have to lose her hands and right foot.

Aimee Copeland, 24, of Snellville, Georgia, is now awake and alert but remains in critical condition battling the hideous infection, after falling from a home-made zip line into infected water near the Little Tallapoosa River on May 1.

She suffered a deep gash in her calf and despite it being cleaned and closed with 22 staples, a bacteria burrowed deep into the wound and caused necrotizing fasciitis, forcing surgeons to amputate her left leg.

Copeland’s parents told her Thursday that the doctors want to remove her hands and remaining foot, reported the Atlanta Journal Constitution and the brave student replied that she was a “little confused but would figure it out.”

“She smiled and raised her hands up, carefully examining them,” father Andy Copeland wrote on his Facebook page on Friday. “She then looked at us. We all understood her next three words… ‘Let’s do this.’”

Aimee’s dad explained how they had come to expect the inevitable after watching the startling transformation in her hands over the past few days.

“They went from a splotchy purple color to a red tone and then to a pinkish flesh tone… back to an angry red,” he wrote. “The doctor explained that her body was trying hard to heal her hands, but the blood flow was too poor.”

Andy said he was blown away by the strength of his daughter when he explained to her, “Aimee, these hands are not healthy, they are hampering your progress.

PHOTOS: Child Star Survivors

“I have never seen such a strong display of courage,” he revealed. “Aimee shed no tears, she never batted an eyelash. I was crying because I am a proud father of an incredibly courageous young lady.”

The bacteria that triggered the infection destroying the University of West Georgia Psychology student’s body, Aeromonas hydrophila, thrives in warm climates and fresh water. While common, the germ rarely causes flesh-eating disease. But when it does, the infection carries a fatality rate upward of 60 percent, according to a 2010 report published in the Journal Clinical Microbiology Reviews.

Just like movie stars who so often house swap, singer K.D. Lang is keeping it in the industry by selling her Los Angeles home to Maroon 5 keyboardist Jesse Carmichael.

The Constant Craving singer is handing over the keys – and the mortgage – of the 2,900-square-foot wooded hideaway in Beverly Glen for a cool $1.9 million, reported Zillow.com.

The move comes just months after the Canadian pop and country star split up with her long-time partner Jamie Price, so she is no doubt looking for a change of scenery to get over the breakup, which she’ll find by hitting the road this summer for a North America tour.

The 3-bed, 2-bath home is the perfect escape from prying eyes for its new musician owner as it is “extremely private and gated on a large wooded lot set among beautiful sycamore trees.”

Surrounded by nature and ivy-strewn wooded walls, the idyllic abode boasts hand-hewn beams, hardwood floors, Craftsman influences and includes three stone fireplaces in the living room, dining room and master bedroom. Outside a pool, spa and large, outdoor entertaining area create a peaceful place for Carmichael to practice his music and “healing arts.”

Mob Wives’ Renee Is Heading Back Under The Knife After Near-Fatal Surgery

You would think that after nearly dying on the operating table the last time she was cut open that Renee Graziano would be reluctant to go under the knife again, but she has put her faith in a new plastic surgeon and is getting ready for her pre-op, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.

“I’m not nervous at all, I trust the doctor completely,” the Mob Wives star told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. “I am hoping he can repair the severe damage from the other surgery and fill the hole in my back the size of a lemon.”

As RadarOnline.com previously revealed, the outspoken reality star is getting reconstructive surgery from NYC celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Fiorillo to mend the botched full body lift that she got from another doctor.

PHOTOS: Reality TV’s Top Families

Having suffered excruciating pain from the initial procedure and unable to even lie flat anymore, the 44-year-old is excited to get her life back after almost losing it on the operating table.

“I lost 6.3 pints of blood and the priest told my son to say goodbye to his mother,” Renee revealed.

“I didn’t want to take blood but my body was an ice cube so I had three pints transfused, my family made the decision for me because I was incoherent and they were told I had 10 minutes to live.”

While she doesn’t regret anything she ever does in the hope that other people will learn from her mistakes, Graziano admitted that the extensive surgery was “an act of pure ignorance,” she said.

“I wanted that flat stomach and the little bubble rear end that I saw in magazines. I figured I wouldn’t get it in the gym so I will try the easy way. What was I thinking? It was selfish. Sometimes the outside world feeds into your brain and you do dumb things.”

Dr. Fiorillo told RadarOnline.com that he will be doing the corrective surgery within the next couple of weeks, and the miraculous results will most likely be immortalized on film to air on season three of Mob Wives.

“I am so confident with Dr Fiorello, there is no question of that,” said Renee, who is excited to be fighting fit and looking fabulous when bikini season rolls around.

“I missed last summer and didn’t get to go into the water, I am looking to feel and want to move foreword and be happy and be healthy.”
